Re: need help to test inverter transformer
I found this testing method from Tomm66 in this forum to test EN220A
<<<<<<
Number pins 1-3 left to right.
Labelled (pos/red) (neg/black) respectively (use diode test.)
Test 1-2 should read ~150 - 700.
Test 2-1 should read single "1" or "OL".
Test 2-3 should read single "1" or "OL".
Test 3-2 should read ~150 - 700.
Test 1-3 should read single "1" or "OL".
>>>>>>
and the result
1-2= 159
2-1="1"
2-3="1"
3-2= 159
1-3= "0.00"
meanwhile from a user name multimeter's suggestion on that same thread
<<< set your meter if dmm to 200 ohm,or 10k ohm anologue, pin 1 and 2 should show reading one way ,pins 2 and 3 should show reading one way >>>>
it shows reading only one way 1-2 & 2-3 as I flipped the probes, i got "1"
couldn't find any info for pair of W2206 diode.Comment

Re: need help to test inverter transformer
well I de-soldered all 3 schottky diodes (photo attached) and test them using the diode test and they seems to be working. The primary and secondary filter capacitors were also de-soldered and test using capacitor test mode, them too were fine. I have not test the transformer and the "optoisolator" (guessing) as some reading material point out.
Can anyone suggest how to test the transformer and the "optoisolator"? Other than that I run out of option, might just give up.
the 1st photo is EN220A
the 2nd photo is W2206, the 2 diodes that I couldn't find any info.
the 3rd photo is from what I'm guessing is the "optoisolator"Attached FilesComment

Re: need help to test inverter transformer
Well, I decided to mounted the board back in place and try since I pretty much run out of option. Plugged in AC and power it on. It actually came on and screen went away after about 5 seconds. The standby led is on still after the screen went away. I can turn it off and on and the screen would be on again for about same amount of time.
Replacement parts so far:
2 x inverter transformers (burnt)
1 x diode (nothing wrong but since I got it off the board might as well replace it)
2 x radial fuses
and all filter capacitors got de-soldered and re-soldered back in.
any suggestion are much appreciated. Thank youComment

Re: need help to test inverter transformer
It would stay on with the standby light but the screen goes away after a few seconds, may be I should replace the last of the 3 inverter transformer as well.Comment

any other idea? I get the correct voltages from the connector as the stamp on board indicated.Comment

Re: need help to test inverter transformer
I cannot see that we have ruled out the bulbs or wiring being bad? Have you any spare bulbs or any old lcd screen.
Can you re check the secondary winding resistance on the 3 transformers report result as
T1 s1>s2 = xxxohms
T1 s3>s4 = xxxohms and so onAttached FilesLast edited by selldoor; 07-31-2012, 10:33 AM.Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

Re: need help to test inverter transformer
I have many old lcd screen to be used just nothing with that size. I don't think the bulbs or lcd is bad though, because the whole screen actually came on for a short time and went away. My guess is the transformers but I couldn't find any info about this transformer. My is a little different than the one on your photo; it has 9 pins. I replaced 2 out of 3 because they look like they melted but even those 2 gave me the same reading as suggested by lcdparts.net
i will have the transformers measurement later tonight.Attached FilesComment

Re: need help to test inverter transformer
Please measure as per my diagram - ignore the other pins.
I have to go out now but you can get a panel that might have good bulbs in
thet would be great - even better if they have the sme connectors- doesnt usually matter about the size of the bulbs for a short test.Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

Re: need help to test inverter transformer
I measured the transformers according to your diagram and got "OL" on all pairs
s1-s2=OL
s3-s4=OL
p1-p2=OL
p3-p4=OL
I have not get a chance to test with light bulb but will follow up and keep you posted

Re: need help to test inverter transformer
Yes I wonder about those reading too, pretty hard to break the primary winding since they are pretty good size wire gauge compared to very fine wires on the secondary side.Never stop learning

Re: need help to test inverter transformer
yeah, all 3 meters gave me the same result, 2 of them on auto, the other was set to 2000 ohm. the thing is i don't think the winding goes in that pattern cause I get the same reading from all 5 transformers (3 existing and 2 new)Comment

Re: need help to test inverter transformer
Ok - you will have to do it the long way
1>2 1>3 1>4 1>5 1>6 1>7 1>8
2>3 2>4 2>5 2>6 2>7 2>8
3>4 and so on - Just record the high numbers.Please upload pictures using attachment function when ask for help on the repair

Re: need help to test inverter transformer
ok this what i got out of 1 transformer. I labeled the pins in the photo.
1>2=1.77k / 1>all other 8 pins = OL
2>all pins = OL
3>4= 1.77k / 3> all pins = OL
4> all pins = OL
5> all pins = OL
6>7= 2.9 ohm; 6>8=5.3 ohm; 6>9= OL
7>8= 2.9 ohm; 7>9= OL
8>9= OLAttached FilesComment

I am currently on a troubleshoot of 46” Sony KDL-46BX450 tv. I came back from Washington to Texas on medical emergency and had to leave all my tools up there. All I have is a couple of screwdrivers and a dvm. I wish to ask the community a troubleshooting question. Please forgive stupid questions as meds I am taking produce brain fog.
I have well maintained Sony KDL-46BX450. It went black one day. After turn-on, I get solid green light and Sony logo in screen center for about 1-2 seconds, then black. No blinking LEDs, no hissing. Flashlight test shows screen characters dimly viewable,... -
Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.
Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.
I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.
The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.
With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't

Hello, I came here after finding some similar questions asked on other monitors and hope someone here can help me get an ancient Viewsonic VP230mp (23" 4:3 LCD) back to working condition.
First a little background, I have a background in computer and electrical engineering, and I'm smart enough to know I know nothing about LCD displays and how they work. For this topic I'm as green as they come.
When the display is turned on the viewsonic logo displays in the uppper left for 2 seconds then the screen goes black, the power LED is green (on) and when a computer is connected... -
Hi all,
I have been working on a Samsung LN40C630K1F LCD TV. On power up the backlights only briefly light up when first powered on then they go out (2 seconds to black). The flashlight test also fails. The sound works fine. Please see attached pics.
I have researched the forums a lot. I have watched the videos of trying to locate the bad CCFL or transformer and bypassing. I can't find any evidence of a bad transformer/CCFL. I verified I get 376V from the big caps to the fuse. I have used a small/cheap oscilloscope and it looks like the MOSFETs on the inverter...
